Runnin :The Murder Mile
Next Tuseday outside the Dyvels pub near Corbridge, Tynedale Harriers will hold the annual 'Murder Mile'. A run up a 1:3, a series of hairpins, the road up Prospect Hill. It, according to my runnin chums, is a 'Fun Run', handicapped to make it more interesting. In my book fun and uphill and run don't belong in the same sentence. And not to be taken seriously, oh yeah? Who they kidding? There's food laid on in the pub afterwards, and plenty of craic promised, which is probably worth the 20 mins of pain? Or am I kidding myself?

Thanks for the invite but I’m afraid I’ll have to give it a miss.
About five years ago I did the Oxenhope straw race, which involved running with a bale of straw and drinking a pint at every pub on the route. Running with beer sloshing about in your stomach is a very weird experience. Have fun next week.
